I haven't tried giving static IP addresses though have been thinking about it. I will give it a try. I would hope that the firewalls would not be causing this as they are both the same with the same settings and have both recognised the connection, trusting it at each connection. But as you say...

To clarify the operating systems used:- Windows 2000 Professional SP4 Windows XP Professional SP1 Paul Winstone www.logicacmg.com paul.winstone@logicacmg.com

The network already has a name. I originally called it LEGEND on both PCs (workgroup name that is) but changed it to the default MSHOME in an attempt to match the XP default settings. I've turned off encryption until I get it to work as well. The firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro) has detected the new...

Hi all, I seem to be having some problems setting up a connection between Windows XP and Windows 2000. The wireless network devices are getting very good to excellent signal strength (they are only a few feet apart) and yet all I get is that both adapters recognise each other. This is an ad...

Still not found it but then I've been off sick for a week so haven't tried for a while. Paul Winstone www.logicacmg.com paul.winstone@logicacmg.com

I did look so thanks for the pointers but couldn't find it. Its not quite so straightforward finding any programming details on their site or at least it hasn't been when I've looked. Any ideas where to look for them? Paul Winstone www.logicacmg.com paul.winstone@logicacmg.com

Has anyone been able to retrieve the following details from OpenView: Maintenance Cycle (number of pages printed since last maintenance) Toner level (amount of toner or warnings) The printers concerned are HP Laserjet 5Si and 8000 with JetDirect 400N or alternative internal JetDirect cards. I...

Has anyone ever written a program to access the configuration and maintenance (e.g. duty cycle details) for a HP laser printer with internal JetDirect card? I'm not having much luck with the details anywhere else. JetAdmin doesn't have much of the functions in an easy to use way and I probably...

If the structure is created within Delphi and you want to use that, then TBrainInfo is what you should use. But as your C function declaration suggests you have a struct in there which defines it already, I would suggest trying a pointer to what the DLL contains. But I don't know if this will...

I've been trying to access Oracle stored procedures using TADOStoredProc using Delphi 7 Enterprise and Delphi 7 Professional. Both seem to have the same problem. It just doesn't work even though the connection has been verified as ok. I believe it can also be done by just using TADOConnection...

If you are trying to call a DLL then its not as simple as what you have above. Using LoadLibrary is one method of accessing DLLs (don't remember right now how to do it). You will need to look into this before writing the function. Otherwise the only change is to make it like this: function...

Have you setup the ODBC DSN with an username and password? I haven't got any files to try this with. Its the only thing I can think of. Paul Winstone www.logicacmg.com paul.winstone@logicacmg.com

Its not likely to be a database of its own. Sage software in the late 80s used to be written with Clipper. So you could try the DBF (DBase/xBase) compatible drivers. I think that this is unlikely though. I suggest you try the different drivers for Access, DBF etc. and see what works. What do...

Has anyone managed to create an exception handler for ODBC errors in Delphi? I'm using Delphi 7 and have some code written in Delphi 3 that I'm trying to get working. The problem is that the exception handler and a load of other code is missing. I have no choice but to re-created it all. If I...

This is perhaps a tricky one. I cannot get a count entered in a formula to return a group based result. It only returns the grand total. A summary field though works on a group based calculation. The snag is that I cannot access a summary field (or at least cannot work out how to) from a...
